Mom, today on your birthday...

I hope you know how lucky I am to have you as my own. You are my light, you are the reason for my life, and you are my world.

On your special day, I'd like to mention a few of the countless things that I'm thankful that you do for me.

You give me great advice.

Now that I've lived independently for a few years now, you might not think I listen to your advice anymore or even that I need it anymore. Well, that couldn't be further from the truth. Your lectures, stories of your childhood experiences, and advice about boys have shaped me into the person I am today and I take your advice to heart each and every day of my life.

You make me laugh.

Ever since I was a little girl, you've always managed to find a way to put a huge smile on my face. Your subtle little comments about life enable me to see everything with a humorous perspective and taught me how to laugh at myself. Thanks for giving me such a great sense of humor and showing me that a little laughter here and there makes everything better.

You're always open to talk.

No matter what time of day it is or what I feel like talking about, you're always there for me to listen to what I need to say. Nothing compares to a mother's listening ear.

You love to cook and dance.

Thanks for all those fun cooking and dancing memories! Now that I live on my own, I'm thankful for all those cooking lessons and not to mention your love of dancing. Music and food, what more could you want?

Your positivity.

No matter what was happening in your life, you always kept an open mind and remained optimistic about the future. That optimism made me hopeful about everything in life, and was like a light for me even when the day seemed dark and cloudy.

Although I could go on and on about how amazing you are, these are the main reasons you are so special to me, Mom. So on your birthday, live it up and celebrate your existence in the world! Love you so much

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
